Anybody have (or know where to get) the lyrics to "The Book of Rules" by the reggae band The Heptones? I just can't figure them out by listening to the record.

HA! Got those suckers!! (just as soon as I felt like looking......bad day here)

BOOK OF RULES

The Heptones

-Barry Llewellyn and Harry Johnson

Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
in clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings
while common people like you and me
we'll be builders for eternity
each is given a bag of tools
a shapeless mass and the book of rules

each must make his life as flowing in
tumbling block on a stepping stone
while common people like you and me
we'll be builders for eternity
each is given a bag of tools
a shapeless mass and the book of rules

look when the rain has fallen from the sky
you know the sun will be only with us for a while
while common people like you and me
we'll be builders for eternity
each is given a bag of tools
a shapeless mass and the book of rules

From the liner notes of Night Food.
